FRINTIIIG MACHIIQ'ZEL Application filed November 29, 1912,

2 0mrl may] concern it known that 1, JOHN llKEBERLING, 'zen of the United Stetes. and resident toehester, in the county of hilonroe end )LLLG of New Yi'i-rlr. have invented certain new and us ful limprovenieto. s in l rintingy lrlsurhinrs, oi: which the following is a specification.

The present invention rel-rites to printing machines, and more particularly to the type in which a plurality of type lines are adapted to he brought selectively into cooperation wi h 21 platen or impression member, llll object of th s invention being so provide for inelosing a printing; member which is rotatable about two axes one at an angle lo the other, its rotation about one axis being to select a. type line for cooperation with the platen or impression member, and its rotation about the other axis being for the purpose of printing and feeding the work. Another object of the illVQlliiOl] is to provide, in a printing i'naohine oil the printing Wheel type nieni ionerl, e simple operotirg means for turning the Wheel about its axis to select the printing line, said operating means being controllable from the exterior of the casing. Still another object of the invention is to .erovirie a rupturing means which will] feed the Work to a printing couple. A further object of the invention is to provide a rupturino means separate from the printing and reecling couple to iii-eel; the surlece of the work in advance of the fouling. A still further object of the inrejiiiion is to provide a rupturing means which will peri'nit the breathing of the Work. as the latter i'noves under the notion of the printing and (ling couple. A still further object of. lire iii'\*entioii. is to provide, in connection with a printing and feeding couple. a rupturing means which will rupture the work, prior to the printing opera.-

tion, and feed the work to the printing and (ling couple, the feeding'ection ol the rupturing means being thereafter rendered ineffective to permit the printing and feed-- ing emiple to more the work through the rupturing moans.

so eiul other ends ihe invention roneisns of certain parts and roinbinetions of ports. all of which "will be hereinafter (lesrrihrsl. the novel features being pointed out in the zippeinleii riiiinis.

The invention is herein illustrated as em bodied in a machine designed iior printing the exact amount in checks or other negotiable irstrumenta, but it will be understood that the invention in not limited to machines of this; type. 'lho construction illustrated. embodies a easing having a base portion 1 fornied with a work support 2 and having an (Wei-hanging pm-tion" 3 seii-ured to the base portion at the rea r ot the work support 2, the overhanging portion being spaced to provide a forwardly openingwork receiving slot through which the wort:

may he passed. The printing; n'ieclianisni embodies a printing couple, in this instance, in the form of a type wheel 5 IllOlllliliHl in the overhanging portion 3 ol? the casing, and a platen or impression member (3 mounted in the base portion ll of the easing, this printing couple acting not only to print but to feed the work.

The printing member 5 in, in this in stance, in the fennel? a ype wheel rotatable upon a shaft 7 which, in turn, is mount ed. on. a frame 9-, the latter being turuabloabout an axis which is at right angles to the axis of turnii' r oi the printing wheel the axis of tlio printing wheel not intersecting the axis oi? the shaft 8, but being situated in a plane to one side oil the axis oi? the frame 8. iihe printing line? 9 which are of (littl'erent lengths as is common in il art to print dillerent worde, may be turned selectively to a printing position, and when in. this j'iosition the arcs formed by their priutin law will be concentric with a center situated at the axis oi? the turning of the rotary tl'rame e, the purpose oi this being to permit the printing face at printing; por ition to cooperate with the platen (3 througlu out the entire length oi" said lace with an even. pressure.

The l'ranie n on which the printing wheel I is mountwl emlaodies a central portion having an opening in which the printing wheel arranwd, and also embodies a hearing" portion ll) turning in the trout wall of the overhanging casing}; 3 and a hollow bearing portion ll, turning in the rear wall oi the upper part of the casing); and projecting; to the rear of said casing". On this projecting portion oi the hollow bearing portion 1 a dish 12 is) arranged, said dish having an operating arm 13 projecting; from its periphery and 'arrying' a handle by which'the rotary frame 8 may be turned. This handle,

in this instance embodies a grip portion. ll rotatable upon a movable axle in the sleeve portion 15, which is rigidly secured to the arm 13 In this sleeveportioi'i is a latch or plunger 16 which, at ite outer end is connected to the grip portion 14, and at its iu-' ner end projects from the inner face of the arm 13, to provide a locking devioe for entering into a porket or recess 17 formed in the base portion 1 below the disk This locking device serves to point out the initial or starting position of the printing nuanbor which, before itcan be turned, must be released by withdrawing the latch or plunger 16 from the pocket- 17, the locking;- device entering the sa id pocket upon the completion of one rotation of the printing :mr-mber, The purpose of this locking device is to make provision for insuring that the printing member will not he in engagement with the platen when it is desired to rotate such printing member to bring another type line to printing position.

Uperation pl. the printing member 5 from the exteriorot the caning may be obtained by providing the printing member with a gear wheel 18 on one side thereof mailing with a pinion '19 on. the frame 8, said pinion 19, in turn, meshing with a crown gear :20 which is secured to a shaft '31 extending through the hollow shaft or hearing portion 11 of the frames to the exterior of the marhine, so that the shaft 21 and the hollow bearing portion 11 have a common axis. On the exterior oi the nun-lune, the shaft 21 provided with a. dial and a thumb wheel 28, the latter serving: to permit the dial and. the printing wheel 5 to he turned relatively to the :trame S for the purpose of selecting one of the lines on the printing; wheel for printing opm'ation. When this selection takes place, the printing wheel and the rotary frame 8 are in positions shown in Figs .3 and oi the drawings, that is, the priutiiu, wheel out of? cooperation with the platen 6, and this position la, as before n'ieutioned, determined by the l0(1lll1f device 16 which enters the recess 1'? in the base 1 oil the frame- 4 The impression member or platen (l is, in this instance, in the form of a rotary wheel situated below the work plate and operating through a slot or opening i in the work plate. Preferably the surface of this platen is roughened, but this roughrniu g; is not shutiicient to break or cut the paper ll, provided solely for the purpose of produrine- "friction hetween it and. the type fares, whieh, are preferably smooth in order that when the two cooperate the work will be liri'nly clamped between the two surfaces and more through Such engagement. The type also operate through. an opening in a plate 526 which issecured to the under side of the overhanging portion 3? of the casing above the Work sup 4.

'ilhe gear 51 is, in turn, adapted to mesh with a gear segment M which is preferably provided at 55 to a disk 56. A spring 57 acts on the gear segment 5'): t0 normally hold said segment against a stop 58, the purpose or this yielding being to permit the yielding o l the teeth of the segment 5% when the latter engages the gear 51, should the proper meshing of the teeth of the two parts not occur during their first engagement. The disk flu is, in this instance, termed of two segments ehunped. to thh hollow bearing portion ll oil? the turning or rotary i'rz me 8, so that when. said frame is turned by the end piece ii, the disk 56 will he turned. 'lhis dish 56 also carries a cam surface 58 which is adapted to cooperate with one face oi the gear Sl in. order to move said gear out of the path oi rotation the gear uiehl jwio'venu-nt ot the gear segment- 5'! into the puih oi" the gear segment 534, as well as the movement of the cutting wheel 37 into co operation with the gear 36, is ellected preterahly by a single device in the. i011)! oi a lever 59 pivoted at -53 on. the pivot oil the lever 42 and having an operating portion 30 extending through a slot 61 in the base 1. This lever has a lost motion connection with the lever if prefer: hlyhy a piu (32 on the lever 42, and a biliurcated projection 63 on he lever fit. The lever 59 also has connecion with the geur 51., and this is ell'ected lui'ough a: piojeetion (A on the upper lace of "'.l e lever 59 opijiratin in an annular groove 'lorzned. in the sleeve l hen the machine is ready to receive the work or eheel the lever 51) is swung to its extreme i UI lU'd position, as shown in Fig. thus holding the gear iii out oi the path oi the segment 34-, and perniiitingthe swing .ing :l'raine ll to drop dowmvardly on to the surface it. fl. er the check has been preperly positioned in the machine againstthe ge (35, which adjustable on the hzse frame 'l. through a slot 7 and a set screw (33%, the lever 9 is swung to the extren'ie rear end of the slot hi, as shown in Fig. 155, hus throwing the gear 5] in the path of the gear segment F l, and causing the lever 42 to move hetween the surlace l4- and the i-wvinging iraii'ie Tl-l, elevating the frame so as to carry the rupturing wheel :37 into (to operation with the cutting wheel 36. The type wheel 5 is then turned to select a desired line oiif type through the indicating dial 2'2, which coiiperz'ites vith a fixed pointer 22 on the casing. l pon the seleclion oi. the desired word, the latch 16 is withdrawn from the recess 1?, and the rotary tranie i is turned, the tyi'ie wheel and its shaft 21 turning: with said tlranie. The selected line will lie on theside ol the machine opposite the inking roller and will more toward and over said inking roller to the platen (S, where it will engage the work and cause the printing of the selected line as well. as theiteeding of the work. Durii'ig the first part of the movement; of the rotary frame 8, the gear segment 54: will enter into engagement with the gear 51 and turn such gear 51, causing the turning of the shaft 27 and the turning of the paper rupturing means to cause the paper to be broken or ruptured, and then fed to a point above the rotary platen l3. After this feeding of the paper and before the printing wheel cooperates with the platen, the cam surface 5'? on the segmental dish. 56 will coiipcrate with the rear face of the gear 51 and shift the latter axially out of the path of the disk segment at the same time causing a shifting of the lere 59 to the position shown in Fig. 153, so that any :trurther inevei'nent ot the rotary frame Fl does not pmduce any movement in the paper rupturing means through the disk 56, the successive opera. tions oi? the printing member to complete the nrinting of any one checlr depending upon the printing couple for the feeding of the check, and the movement of the check through the paper rupturing means. After the check has been completed. the lever 59 shifted to the forward end of the slot, as shown in Fig.

From tin foregoing it will be seen that there has been provided in a printing ma chine of the type having a printing wheel,

rotatable about two ariies at right angles to each other, a printing wheel operable from the exterior of a casing which incloses the wheel. A. rupturing means has been provided separate from the printing couple for feeding the work to the couple. This conple also acts to move the work through the rupturing ,nieans. The rupturing ineans acts as a clamp for holding the iOl'li in printing position and operable to release the work. After the rupturing means shifts the ruptured WOlli to the printing coupleits feeding action is automaticallystopped and the printing couple feeds the work through the riu turing means, this feeding being assisted by the gearing between the platen and the lower rupturing wheel, the peripheral speeds of the platen and the'lower rupturing wheels being the same so that no strain is 'nposed on the workf ll'hat claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A. printing machine comprising a easing formed with afor vardly opening cheek receiving slot, a frame mounted to turn in the casing above til. slot and having a portion extending to the exterior of the casing, a printing member mounted to turn on the '1 anne about an axis at an angle to the turning of the frame, and operating nieans for 5 1,338 too Inez-ins being ino mrntire (luring the selective movement; of the pri ting member.
